VS 2010 : Listing Directories Inside Directories?
Jul 29, 2011This is currently the code I am using.
Dim fileList As Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(FolderDialog1.SelectedPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly)
For Each topLvlFile As String In fileList
[code]....
The above code reads all the files & directories in a selected path. It ignores any hidden folders, like it suppose to. Except it doesn't ignore folders inside of the hidden folders that it finds & I need it to.I can't quite wrap my head around how to make it ignore all folders & files inside of a hidden folder that it find.

Mar 17, 2010I have a website (coded in vb.net) with an "admin" section (the admin section being a folder in the actual site)... So in every page of the site I'm using my own custom class as the page base (which has been set in the web.config file) but I want to inherit from different class for the files in the "admin" folder... Is there any way to inherit different classes for pages in different folders using the web.config or some other equally as global method? (meaning some other way than inheriting on a per page basis.)

How To List Directories On FTP
Jun 25, 2009I'm trying to make a simple program to list a directory and sub directories on an ftp. I haven't found anything simple to do this other than a dll made for ftp commands. There are two problems with that dll, the first is I can't get recursing through directories to work right and it has a trial period. So I'm wondering if there is a simple pure VB way to simply list directories on an ftp. The dll I've played with is ChilkatDotNet2.dll.

May 29, 2012I am now convinced there is no such thing using VB 2010 Express. I have read, re-read, studied, copied and pasted code to no end and all I get are error messages galore. It appears there is a big gap between what's on line as far as tutorials and the code that VB 2010 Express will accept. I hate to sound so lost but at the moment I am. I used to program in BASIC and QBASIC. I was a master at opening up ascii text files, reading them in sequential order, sorting, manipulating, then re-writing them. It was all so easy, like this: [code] That's all I want to learn how to do for the moment. But every tutorial or article I find goes off in to wild tangents about How to Manage Directories or it reads the entire text file into one giant object. Or worse, there's some code which looks promising but it won't run under VB 2010 Express or it might run but the author leaves out important parts of the code that have to be declared ahead of the subroutine....you all know what I mean. It can't be this difficult to just read a text file one line at a time, therefore it shouldn't be so difficult to find an accurate and up to date article on this.This is for really rough programming. I don't need an interface of any kind. The user, will not even need to know that anything is happening. I simply want to read text files, manipulate what's in them and then re-write the edited text.

View 4 RepliesApplication To Monitor Several Directories
Apr 20, 2011I have put together an app to monitor several directories. The basic principle is to replicate from a Master directory to a Shared directory when specific criteria is met (specific file types are changed, renamed or deleted within the Master directory)Everything seems to work fine with excpetion to MS Office documents. e.g. If I work on a .bmp and save it, it will trigger a changed event. However, with office documents (Word in this example), it appears to rename the MYDOC.DOC file to <freefile>.TMP then rename a different <freefile>.TMP to MYDOC.DOC. This would not be a problem if it was to trigger the Changed or Created event for MYDOC.DOC, but it doesn't. It wouldn't be so bad if the first TMP file was named the same as the second TMP file as I could mirror the process using the Renamed event.I can not filter out TMP files as we use TMP files within the Master directory, albeit for a different purpose.I would use an off the shelf produt, but the files need to be copied to different shared directories based on specific criteria so I can not seem to find a suitable product that fits my needs.
